As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland
Chapter 69
Putting down The Flash's uniform, Eric left the Justice Society headquarters and flew towards Smallville.
Boom!
With his feet on the road not far from the farm, Eric was about to walk home.
But after walking two steps, I found that someone was walking slowly on a horse not far away.
"Hey, Eric!"
Seemingly surprised to find Eric on the road, Lana greeted him with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
"It's a bit of a coincidence."
Eric nodded, even though he was withdrawn and didn't like to communicate, he was not a freak who didn't say a word to his acquaintances.
For several of Clark's friends, Chloe, Pete, Lana, his look and feel are not bad.
"Tyson has been a bit sluggish recently, maybe because he is old, so I will often take him out for a walk and relax."
Lana smiled at Eric and explained.
Tyson was the name of the horse Lana was riding.
"After Whitney was in the hospital, he seldom went out, maybe a breath of fresh air would help him recover, we asked the veterinarian and that's what the doctor suggested. Whitney's mother currently wants to sell him and she has I can't afford it."
"uh-huh."
Eric continued to walk forward without any intention of continuing.
"so......"
Lana hesitated and said to Eric: "Clark knew about this and suggested that I keep Tyson on the farm. I don't know if this will cause you trouble."
"For Clark, he'll be happy, although clearing the stables is a bit of a hassle for him."
Eric replied casually.
"It would be nice if that were the case."
Lana nodded, and then asked Eric hesitantly, "I heard that there was a car accident on the farm yesterday, is it okay?"
"No."
While talking, the two walked to the entrance of the farm.
It happened that Clark was waiting at the gate of the farm, and he was a little surprised to see the two walking over together.
After Eric nodded to Clark, he entered the farm.
He has no interest in the romance drama of his cheap eldest brother.
Clark coughed and reached out to touch the long hair on Tyson's neck
But Tyson didn't cooperate with him, sneezed and stuck his head to the other side, resisting Clark's touch.
"What happened to Tyson?"
He asked Lana in surprise.
"Tyson's illness is getting worse. I put Tyson here, it won't bother your parents, right?!"
Lana reconfirmed with Clark.
"Won't."
Clark smiled at Lana and said, "None of us want a part of our life to be taken away, do we? I'll take good care of Tyson."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly caught a familiar back, which shocked him.
"Sorry, Lana, I have to leave."
After speaking, he disappeared instantly, leaving Lana standing there helpless.
Chapter 99 Earth or Aliens
Clark did not find the familiar back in the end - Kara, who had disappeared before.
Depressed, he returned to the farm, only to find that Lana had left.
Tyson was not in the stable, and it seemed that Lana took Tyson back with him.
Clark, who knew he had screwed up, hammered the fence next to the stable.
It must be that Lana saw herself leave suddenly, and after waiting for a while, she did not come back and left disappointed.
I screwed everything up again!
......
Luther Manor.
Dr. Helen angrily threw a newspaper in front of Lex.
"What does that mean? You want to tell the world."
Lex, who was playing billiards, glanced at the newspaper in front of him.
The headline on the front page of the newspaper read "The Female Doctor Who Worships Gold".
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I thought I'd run out of newspapers in town."
Lex shrugged his shoulders and put aside the pool cue in his hand.
"Helen, I like you and I want to protect you!"
"You're not the only one who likes me, right?"
Helen asked him back.
"I explained to you that Victoria and I are only in business."
"uh-huh."
Helen nodded, "But I also heard that Sir Harry was almost bankrupted by Luther Enterprises, if it weren't for the accident that happened a few months ago - the Metropolis has lost countless celebrities and rich people, and those wolves are missing. The bite, I think...Sir Harry is broke, and you and your father don't seem as out of line as they seem."
"Speaking of the return paper, I sacrificed a lot to get what I am today, Lex, I cherish it very much!"
"So your reputation is now ruined by gossip? Or is that why you didn't move into the estate?"
Lex asked the question he cared about most.
"My rent is not due yet."
"I will deal with your unexpired lease payment. The movers I hired will come to your house within an hour. What are you still hesitating about?"
Facing Lex's questioning, Helen was silent for a moment, "I have my own plan!"
"I want you to know, Helen, that I have confidence in our relationship, but if you want to quit, I'll understand."
Said and handed a key to Helen, "This master key can open any room in this manor. I have absolute trust in you, and I hope you will think about it carefully."
After handing the key to Helen, Lex turned and left the room.
Helen, who was standing with the key in her hand, raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
After Lex left the manor, he drove to Kent Farm.
"Hey Clark, I need your help with something."
Lex, who pushed open the door, said directly.
"Clark is not here. If you want to ask him for help, it is estimated that you have to make an appointment in advance."
Eric was sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through the latest Gotham newspaper.
The headline of the newspaper was the news that **** Bruce Wayne was attacked and is now in hospital receiving treatment.
He was a little puzzled that Catwoman didn't report to him about Bruce Wayne.
Immediately put aside about Catwoman and Bruce after seeing Lex come in.
"I made an appointment with Clark to meet at this time. Maybe he was delayed by something?"
Lex cast a questioning look at Eric.
"The only thing that can hold him back is Lana."
Eric put down the newspaper and said to Lex: "You are lucky today, my parents are not at home."
"I don't think I'm lucky, although I've always been lucky."
Lex sat down on the sofa opposite Eric.
For Eric, he has a different feeling than for Clark.
He regards Clark as a friend, and although he has been investigating and suspicious of each other in private, he does not want to destroy the friendship.
Clark is kind and sincere to people, but Eric in front of him is cold and unapproachable.
He can grasp the degree of getting along with Clark, but he doesn't know how to get along with Eric, which is why he has not interacted with Eric very much.
"I heard there was a car accident near the farm yesterday."
Lex said directly to Eric: "If there is something damaged on the farm, you can apply for the Agricultural Disaster Grant for Smallville, and I can help. You know, the state and federal officials have been following the tree when it comes to the approval process. Lazy, lazy to eat, lazy to move, unless you have to put some pressure on them yourself."
Lex offered to help farms apply for grants.
Of course, Eric knew that the other party would not be so kind. It was nothing more than finding traces of fighting near the farm, doubting whether it was related to himself and Clark, and then continuing to doubt the identities of the two.
"No, I don't think it is necessary. You forgot that last time you personally asked my parents to come to your castle on the issue of agricultural subsidies, and asked for help, but they were ruthlessly rejected?"
Eric directly refused the help of the other party.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kent, maybe there is some prejudice against me, 'no good bamboo can come out of bad bamboo', maybe that's what they think."
Lex leaned forward slightly and said to Eric with a slight smile.
It seems that his mood has not changed because of Eric's slightly offensive words.
"When I was in elementary and junior high school, I was often prejudiced by others. I could feel it in terms of words and behavior. But if you care too much about other people's opinions, you will make it difficult for yourself. If you try to hold Having a trust in someone is like a piece that moves in a game of chess, it can be captured, but it can also be the starting point of a victory.”
Lex expresses his opinion to Eric.
"Um."
Eric nodded.
Although I don't have a good impression of Lex, I have to admit that the other party is indeed very eloquent at some point.
"But sometimes, without the help of prejudice and habit, you can't even get from one side of the room to that side."
After playing language art with the other party for a while, Eric said to the other party: "I know you helped me a lot about the last time my book was published, although I basically have the same impression of you as my father, But we have some of the same views on some things."
"No thanks, I just helped a little."
Lex clasped his fingers together, "I'm sure you can do it without my help, don't you?"
He recognized that the two people Eric said were similar in some ways.
This is one thing that was certain from the first time he saw Eric's painting and was taken into a vision that terrified and horrified him.
"Looks like it's getting late, Clark may be a little bit obsessed by Lana and forget the time."
Saying that, Lex stood up and prepared to go out.
But the footsteps that were just about to leave stopped, hesitated for a while, and said to Eric:
"I met Dr. Hamilton today. Although I am a layman on the road of science, I know that science has transformed our world. There are often some fanaticism and rhetoric around me, and the most effective weapon to deal with them is science. I Meet some of the top biochemical research institutes and if you can...I can give you a little help."
Although Lex is a bastard, at this time, he is not the **** who will scare others without blinking in the future.
He does want to help Eric.
While spying on Eric's information, he hopes to quickly pull into the relationship between the two.
Whether it was Eric or Clark, he desperately wanted to know the secrets of the two.
Only the closer you get, can you see the secrets of the two people clearly.
"I will think about it."
Eric nodded and replied lightly.
"OK, one more thing."
